"Max? Any sign of him…?" Angel asked as she put some dishes on the kitchen table.

"Sigh, no Angel I cant see him." I say trying to sound that it doesn't bother me like I always do.

It's been Five years since Fang had come home. Didn't h e know how much we missed him…how much I miss him…?

"I'm sure he knows Max." Angel responds using her mind reading powers.

I turn and put my back up against the sink.

"You know Angel I really wish you would stop doing that, hey where's Bella?"

"I'm right here mommy!" My sweet baby Bella says jumping into the kitchen and hugging my legs.

"Hi sweetie." I say stroking her dark black locks that she inherited from her father. "Want up?"

"Yes please!" Bella says raising her arms so I can lift her onto my hip.

I lean down and pick her up and kiss her nose while placing her on my hip. Bella yawns.

"Uh, oh someone's getting sleepy, hey Angel can you put Bella to sleep while I finish up the dishes?" I ask kissing Bella's forehead.

"Sure Max, give her here." Angel says taking Bella from my hip and cooing at her.

I turn back to the sink and start on the dishes again just then there is a knock at the door…
